Fact Sheet: Ribosomal RNA (rRNA)

Fact Sheet: Ribosomal RNA (rRNA)

What is rRNA? Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) serves as the foundational framework of the ribosome, a vital organelle orchestrating protein synthesis. Unlike messenger RNA (mRNA), which carries genetic instructions for protein assembly, rRNA is a non-coding RNA that facilitates the actual process within the ribosome. Derived from ribosomal DNA (rDNA), rRNA collaborates with ribosomal proteins to construct […]

What is Pyrophosphate Sequencing (Pyrosequencing)?

What is Pyrophosphate Sequencing (Pyrosequencing)?

Pyrophosphate sequencing represents an innovative enzymatic cascade chemiluminescence sequencing method driven by four key enzymes: DNA polymerase, ATP sulfurylase, luciferase, and adenosine triphosphate bisphosphatase (apyrase). This cutting-edge technology enables real-time detection of biological light signals emitted during DNA synthesis, setting a groundbreaking precedent for simultaneous sequencing and synthesis. In the realm of early tumor screening […]

Fact Sheet: Introns and Exons

Fact Sheet: Introns and Exons

What is Exon? A coding sequence within a fragmented gene, an exon (expressed region) constitutes a vital segment of a eukaryotic gene. It remains conserved post-splicing and serves as the basis for protein expression during protein biosynthesis. These nucleotide sequences are present in both the initial transcription product and the mature RNA molecule. Genome encompasses […]

8 Methods of Population Genetic Analysis

8 Methods of Population Genetic Analysis

The study of population evolution relies on advanced genomic techniques like whole-genome resequencing or other sequencing methods. These technologies enable the acquisition of genomic data from diverse subpopulations within a species. By extracting extensive variant information such as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP), insertions/deletions (InDel), structural variations (SV), and copy number variations (CNV), researchers delve into […]

Summary of Epigenetic Databases

Summary of Epigenetic Databases

Science’s understanding of genetics primarily focuses on the alterations in gene expression caused by genetic sequence modifications, encompassing gene mutations, heterogeneous loss, and microsatellite instability. Contrastingly, epigenetics considers the changes in gene expression attributable to non-genomic sequence variations, such as DNA methylation and modifications in chromatin conformation. The broader field of epigenomics is dedicated to the genomic […]
